Random Flashing
I would like to create a background for my latest project and I think its going to need some actionscripting.

I have a little gadient circular fill that I would like to turn on and off randomly. Maybe even fade in and out using alpha.

Then duplicate this several more times as a background for some text etc.

I could do this by making individual movies, but if I use the same one more than once it will be noticable.

I understand a little actionscripting and am trying to pick it up, are there any tutorials out there that would help a newbie scripter

Flashing Cursor
Hello,

I am using Flash to create a screen simulation based on a mainframe application. This application has several fields in which the user tabs to a field and enters a number value or a single letter like an X. I am looking for two things.

1. How to get a cursor to flash in the appropriate text box when I tab from text box to text box, and:

2. Error validation. So if they put a 1 when a text field goes they get an error.

Here is my code to tab through the fields. At the bottom is the code I have tried to get my error validation.

on (keyPress "<Tab>") {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.function") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.scrname");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.scrname") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.pv1_married");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.pv1_married") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.pv1_separated");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.pv1_separated") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.pv1_veteran");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.pv1_veteran") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.PV1Solar_yes");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.PV1Solar_yes") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.PV1Solar_no");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.PV1Solar_no") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.energy_yes");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.energy_yes") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.energy_no");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.energy_no") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.function");
}
}
on (keyPress "<Tab>") {
if ("_level0.pv1_married" == "X") {
setProperty (_level0.error, _visible, true);
}
}

everything following _level0 is a variable for an input box.

Flashing MC On Rollover
For some reason, when I rollover my invisible button (which displays a popup menu), it flashes repeatedly when I'm over certain parts of the button. There is a graphic underneath.

The popup "pops up" and the flashing stops when I rollover the "popped up" panel...but starts again when I move the mouse off the popup...and then stops completely when I roll off the button entirely.

Here's the code for the invisible button:

on (rollOver) {
// --------------------------------------
// show dropDown1 menu
// --------------------------------------
tellTarget ("/dropDown1") {
gotoAndStop("show");
}
// --------------------------------------
// hide dropDown2 menu if drop down 1 is shown
// --------------------------------------
tellTarget ("/dropDown2") {
gotoAndStop("hide");
}
}

and the instance "dropDown1", etc. has 2 frames "show" and "hide" which seem to work fine and resides on the layer above the invisible button.

Appreciate any help, code hints.

Thanks in advance.

Flashing HTML
I am working on creating a new version of a website for myself... yet i am having some troubles with a certain idea of mine. I want to have my flash over my website, as you would a template a piece of paper. I would like to have my website (HTML part) be a layer in my flash site... (http://lan.faliesonsworld.com/beta/site.html) the black area inside the flash is where my website would be. clicking on a link to the left would just be like clicking the link in a frame.. and would just change the website in that area... not forwarding teh webclient to another site,
but my whole website running in that one place. I do not understand how to do this. I dont know if its even possible.Yet my friend said that you where the people to come to for this, so here I am. =)
-this is purely beta form... the imaages arent done, they still need to be finished cleaning... its going to have a lot of touch ups (browser resizer to movie size script, etc.) just want to get the above working first.

Flashing Button
i need to have a button that flashes, or changes colors while still functional.

i'd imagine amovie clip would do the trick, but i can't add functionality to the movie clip (or am doing it wrong). i'm still a little gray on how you actually get a movie clip to work anyway... any help?

Flashing ;) Effect And...
Hello,

I am trying to create a flashing effect of a sign or text. I want the sign to shine for a moment but with a slight change of size (bigger). Just like if it was lit like a neon. Should I do it with AS or maybe only with tween. I need a lot of dynamic in this shine

another effect that confuses me is to make a shape brake into small pieces (like glass) and momentarilly put it all togehter. I guess there has to be a simpler way to do it than to slice the shape into small parts, move them apart and create tween, hasn't it?

Will be grateful for any clues

Regards

Movie Flashing?
I have been working on a project for a site. I finally finished but then realized the pictures were too big in file size. So i resized them in fireworks and exported them as jpegs. THen I go into flash and replace the files and now when i play the movie it is continously flashing. go to www.reitzbaseball.org to see what I mean. Any help is appreciated.

Flashing Button ?
I have three buttons that could be 3 different colors, all could change, depending on what lvl they are set. (I am using ASP and SQL to determine the value of the color.) I wanted to have another table in the db to be the trigger for the flashing.

Button 1 : red, yellow or green
Button 2 : red, yellow or green
Button 3 : red, yellow or green

I want the parent color and another color to flash to notify a change in content on the page.

So if Button 1 was set to Red, it would flash Red and Black. But if the color changed to Yellow it would flash Yellow and Black.

I hope I explained this clearly. I tried SetInterval but it didn't like the multiple intervals

Flashing Problem
I'm new to AS3 and am having trouble with a rollover. I am making a banner of twelve headshots. When you rollover the headshot, a color image and quote come up for the person, populated through XML.

I got everything to work except that when you rollover each person, the color image and quote get loaded and start flashing. Each rollover points to another frame, where I have a variation on this code, which I assume is where the problem is, but I can't figure out where. I assume the code just keeps loading, but I'm not sure why or how to stop it. Any ideas?

Code:
var quote1Req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("FlashBannerXML.xml");
var quote1Loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

function quote1Loaded(e:Event):void{
var quote1XML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
var image_url = quote1XML.person[0].@rollover;
var quote1_loader:Loader = new Loader();

quote1_loader.load(new URLRequest(image_url));
addChild(quote1_loader);
quote1_loader.x=0
quote1_loader.y=0

quote1.text = quote1XML.person[0].quote;
major1.text = quote1XML.person[0].major;
name1.text = quote1XML.person[0].name;
stop();
}

quote1Loader.load(quote1Req);
quote1Loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, quote1Loaded);

Flashing Buttons?
Can someone please show me how to make buttons like this:

http://www.garlandjeffreys.com/flash/index_f.html

Notice how once you click on a button, it goes to that page, plus the button stays 'on' and sort of flashes as well?

And how do you make it so that once you're on that page, the button actions disables, meaning you cant click on it again while you're on that page so the current page wont reload again?

Hope that made sense....

Please help! Thanks in advance!

Flashing & Caching
Hello There

Just wanna hear some comments on this. Whenever you update a flash movie and publish it to the web, it takes quite some time for the update to show.

I found some NoCaching html code but that does nothing. The only way I found to battle this, is to rename the flash file, and this gets pretty irritating, especially if you have flash files pointing to other flash files, and you have to rename all the files from the htm file right along to the last little flash file that needed an urgent update.

Is anybody else having problems with this, and if so, how does everybody else handle this?

Thanx guys!

Flashing Graphics
im sure this is pretty easy to do, but can someone tell me how to make graphics flash really quick, like i see on so many sites.

as an example, on the 2a site, when you mouse over stuff like the launch button (featured system) or better yet, the little arrow that flashes when you mouse over a desktop or app skins list boxes.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Follow Up With Flashing...
Hey Tann;

First off, you really nailed this on the head when no one else could... I bow before. Thank you.

I need just a slight addition:

Okay, I made a movie and put my soundtrack in it, starting in frame 1. In frame 2, i loaded movie 1 to level one, and from there my buttons load the rest of the movies to level 1 and everything works great!

Now just get me back to the beginging...

On the page of the last movie, there is a replay button to replay the whole sequence of movies. So I need to trigger my soundtrack movie sitting on level 0 to start again.

I tried this but it didn't work...

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("chpt 7(mirror2)music.swf", 0);

}

(I wasn't sure if i needed to reload the "god" movie since the soundtrack was playing and thus had never left.)

So what do i say to get the replay button to restart the whole show at frame 1 of my soundtrack movie?

Thanks
Hoss
